It was widely believed that the NFL would be releasing the 2014 schedule at the end of this week. This assumption was based mainly on the fact that the league announced the 2013 schedule on Thursday, April 18th of last year. Well, NFL PR man Brian McCarthy announced via Twitter today that the schedule would not be released this week.
contrary to some tweets, the #NFL ’14 schedule will not be released this week. we will announce when we will announce it

Last year’s announcement came a week before the draft. With the draft being pushed back two weeks this year, it seems reasonable to assume that the announcement of the 2014 schedule may follow a similar timeline.
